  2. Stream function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stream_function

    The development here assumes the space domain is three-dimensional. The concept of stream function can also be developed in the context of a two-dimensional space domain. In that case level sets of the stream function are curves rather than surfaces, and streamlines are level curves of the stream function.

  3. Streamlines, streaklines, and pathlines - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Streamlines,_streaklines...

    A scalar function whose contour lines define the streamlines is known as the stream function. Dye line may refer either to a streakline: dye released gradually from a fixed location during time; or it may refer to a timeline: a line of dye applied instantaneously at a certain moment in time, and observed at a later instant.

  4. Stokes stream function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stokes_stream_function

    Streamlines around a sphere in axisymmetric Stokes flow.At terminal velocity the drag force F d balances the force F g propelling the object.. In fluid dynamics, the Stokes stream function is used to describe the streamlines and flow velocity in a three-dimensional incompressible flow with axisymmetry.

  5. Potential flow around a circular cylinder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potential_flow_around_a...

    Pressure field (colors), stream function (black) with contour interval of 0.2Ur from bottom to top, velocity potential (white) with contour interval 0.2Ur from left to right. A cylinder (or disk) of radius R is placed in a two-dimensional, incompressible, inviscid flow.

  6. Flow visualization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flow_visualization

    Analytical methods that analyse a given flow and show properties like streamlines, streaklines, and pathlines. The flow can either be given in a finite representation or as a smooth function. Texture advection methods that "bend" textures (or images) according to the flow. As the image is always finite (the flow through could be given as a ...

  7. Fluid dynamics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluid_dynamics

    The streamlines show the direction of the fluid flow, and the color gradient shows the pressure at each point, from blue to green, yellow, and red indicating increasing pressure Typical aerodynamic teardrop shape, assuming a viscous medium passing from left to right, the diagram shows the pressure distribution as the thickness of the black line ...

  8. Kovasznay flow - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kovasznay_flow

    Normalized streamline (/) contours of the Kovasznay flow for =. Color contours denote normalized vorticity ω L / U {\displaystyle \omega L/U} . Kovasznay flow corresponds to an exact solution of the Navier–Stokes equations and are interpreted to describe the flow behind a two-dimensional grid.

  9. MATLAB - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MATLAB

    MATLAB (an abbreviation of "MATrix LABoratory" [22]) is a proprietary multi-paradigm programming language and numeric computing environment developed by MathWorks.MATLAB allows matrix manipulations, plotting of functions and data, implementation of algorithms, creation of user interfaces, and interfacing with programs written in other languages.
